Say my Wiz took the variant in the Complete Champions book and got a domain special ability.

the strength domain.

if i use the domain ability would my familiar get the same str buff through share spell? and also do i get a str bonus equal to my cleric level or my wizard level?


further more: as i level does my familiar level? as in increased HD? meaning he would get more feats and skill points right?

Hit Dice

For the purpose of effects related to number of Hit Dice, use the master’s character level or the familiar’s normal HD total, whichever is higher.

So you don't gain "real" hit dice on your familiar, so no more skills or feats for them. But they can use your skill ranks... leading to a Bard taking Obtain Familiar and getting a raven to UMD.

Is it a spell?

the strength domain special ability is not a spell... so no it doesn't get shared.
